Note on use of Diacritical Marks in this Book
Sanskrit words have been spelt in English with diacritical marks to enable them to be correctly pronounced. Examples: prāṇāyāma, pūjā.
Names of divinities and of monks have been written with diacritical marks. Examples: Śāradāmbā; Candramaulīśvara, Śrī Nṛsiṁha Bhāratī.
Names of buildings and institutions have generally been written without diacritical marks even when the names are clearly of Sanskrit origin. Examples: Shankara Krupa (not Śaṅkara-kṛpā), Sandhya-mandapa (not Sandhyā-maṅḍapa); Shankar Math (not Śaṅkara-maṭha); Sharada Peetham (not Śāradā-pīṭha).
